Hello, I’m a regular on here. Some of you know me, others probably not. Wanted some advice so I’m going to keep it simple. 1. I’m 53 with a history of endometriosis all my life. Debilitating and just absolutely rubbish for me. Like all of us on here. I’m unfortunately no different. 2. My periods

Hello Lovely ladies, I had a question about when each of you stopped taking E2 and Prog after your Embryo Transfer. Did you'll have an FET (modified or fully artificial) / fresh transfer?
